Summary from the TLDR newsletter

75% of Tailwind's engineering team lost their jobs due to the impact AI has had on the business. Traffic to Tailwind's docs is down about 40% from early 2023. The docs are the only way for people to discover Tailwind's commercial products, so this is resulting in less income for the project. While Tailwind is growing faster than ever and is bigger than it has ever been, its revenue is down close to 80%.
